Risk warning:
CMB provides market analyses and forecasts for your reference only. Gold prices may vary with global political and economic factors and unexpected events. You should fully understand the risks and losses that arise from gold trading. You are fully and solely liable for the trading orders you send to CMB based on your own judgment and decision.
